Dragonkin, Book 2: Talisman

The peace of Wyvernwood has been shattered. The war between Angmar and Degarm has begun, and their conflict has already spread deep into the southern and northern parts of the Great Refuge. But the war isn't confined just to the race of Men. The Griffinkin, long jealous of the powerful Dragons, have allied themselves with Angmar and established themselves in the fortress called Redclaw. The first victim of all this mounting conflict was the great Dragon-leader, Stormfire. Yet, a series of books he left behind, collectively known as The Book of Stormfire, suggests that he foresaw many of these events, that he knew a time would come when the Dragons and all their mythological kindred and friends would have to abandon Wyvernwood and move on to a possible new Refuge. The books indicate that Stormfire created and hid three objects in various corners of the world: the Diamond Dragon, the Glass Dragon, and the Heart of All Dragons. Once found and united, they will show the way to a new homeland for the Dragonkin. The quest falls to Stormfire's triplet children. Only two can go, however. While two seek the treasures, one must stay behind to protect Wyvernwood, to rebuild Stronghold, and to stand against the forces martialling against them. Gathering a team that includes the last unicorn in the world, a wacky hummingbird, a group of human children, an outcast Griffin, and a cat-like Fomorian female, Chan and Luna set out to retrace the route by which Stormfire gathered and led the Dragonkin to Wyvernwood, while still searching for the legendary objects. Along the way, they will find adventure and danger and discover, to their surprise and alarm, that not all of the surviving Creatures of Mythfollowed Stormfire to the Great Refuge. . . .
